Small Business Administration Introduces 2 New Online Finance Courses for Small Business Owners

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has introduced 2 new free online finance courses to help small business owners with the basic principles of finance and borrowing.

The self-paced courses are:

• Finance Primer: Guide to SBA’s Loan Guaranty Programs
  http://app1.sba.gov/sbtn/registration/index.cfm?CourseId=29
   

• How to Prepare a Loan Package
  http://app1.sba.gov/sbtn/registration/index.cfm?CourseId=28

These courses walk business owners through steps that answer questions about debt financing, available loan programs, what small businesses should know about borrowing money, how to prepare a loan package and how loan requests are reviewed by lenders. The finance primer gives an overview of the SBA’s loan guaranty programs to help small businesses understand the variety of financial resources, including those from the SBA. The finance courses can help entrepreneurs avoid such common mistakes as securing the wrong type of financing, miscalculating the amount of financing required, and underestimating the cost of borrowing money. The loan package course includes small business links to related information, and refers course participants for direct support in preparing a loan request to appropriate resources that include SBA’s district offices, SBA resource partners and lenders. Course participants who complete the 30-minute online training programs can earn a certificate of completion from the SBA.

These courses have been added to a menu of more than 26 online tutorials offered by the SBA through its virtual training campus at the Small Business Training Network (SBTN) (http://www.sba.gov/training)
